San Jerónimo en un patio

Albrecht Altdorfer, hacia 1512/1515

This is a drawing showing a bearded figure walking in front of an architectural background. The scene displays a long-bearded figure in tattered clothing, leaning forward and holding a staff in one hand while a lion crouches behind him. The figure's expression appears concentrated. The background architecture features intricate stonework and arches, hinting at a medieval or Renaissance setting. The texture, line work, and detailing are elaborate, characteristic of the engraving technique. The composition balances the interaction between the human figure, the animal, and the architectural elements around them.
